"We are delighted. It's good news for us," the manager said. "He's just had one training session yesterday. We are excited he will travel with us. [He can't play] 90 for sure, but his physicality is special - a special player who doesn’t need lot of training sessions to be fit. It is important not just for tomorrow but for the schedule we have ahead of us."
